Sysadmin Hardware Benchmark Results
Real telemetry measured via automated stress scripts running on live production server nodes.
Measures raw single-core compute performance under 20,000 prime loop sysbench runs.
Synchronous 4K block stress at queue depth 32. Crucial for high-concurrency database queries.
Zero CPU steal time detected. Hardware virtualized kernel eliminates noisy neighbor slowdowns.
Layer 3/4 and Layer 7 volumetric flood protection active by default across all datacenter regions.

Reliable European workhorse
Hetzner Cloud has been my backbone for 4 years. 20TB traffic included is amazing, though CPU scores are slightly behind the new AMD EPYC 9004 nodes at IwiHost.
